The Philadelphia 76ers can look forward yet again to another player to beef up their roster, with reports that 2014 National Basketball Association (NBA) Draft pick Dario Šarić will be suiting up for the ball club next season.
Šarić, who stands 6 feet 10 inches tall, currently plays for the Anadolu Efes at the Turkish Basketball Super League where he is averaging 11.9 points per outing. The 21-year-old Croatian guard was originally selected 12th overall by the Orlando Magic but was subsequently traded to the Sixers.
The Sixers stand to add another young and promising cager to their fold which already has a trio of talented big men in Nerlens Noel, supposedly sophomore Joel Embiid, and rookie Jahlil Okafor.
Sarić certainly comes as a welcome addition for the Sixers, who can hopefully show some signs of life considering they have been annual tail-enders for quite a time.
Word of Šarić's intention to make the jump to the NBA was first reported by a European scout who got the chance to speak to Dario's father.
Šarić's European experience could work help out the Sixers, although there is also that possibility that the Sixers could dangle him at some point if he debuts with a bang with Philly.
That is unless the Sixers have plans to dislodge their other players (Noel, Okafor, or Embiid), with the team apparently having a crowded middle.
At the rate that the team is performing, the Sixers are likely to have a good chance at the incoming rookies in 2016, which means getting a chance at new and young talent.
Among the big names being mentioned for 2016 whom the Sixers could consider taking in include Ben Simmons, Jamal Murray Skal Labissierie, or even Dragan Bender.
While critics believe that the Sixers would do well to add another big man, the team could do well to check out the best guards available too.
